sims 4 a trash can is required to clean this up

Here is a link to a video on my google drive of MY Sim cleaning up some ash piles after having burned the leaf piles.

You can repeat the whole process if there are several areas that need cleaned up. The trash can will be removed, but may remain in the yard. Run back to your home lot, then hold down shift and click on the trash can that is ON THE SIM'S HEAD. So, after you've cleaned up one area, you probably want to go ahead and remove the trash can from the sims head. Now, what I discovered was that the trash can head was getting 'full'. (It takes on average about five clicks when I've done it) Eventually, they do all get picked up and thrown away in your stylish trash can head. If it doesn't go away the first time, just click on it again to throw away. because, as mentioned above, there is speculation that these piles are layering on top of one another. It may take SEVERAL attempts to pick up either the ash piles (if you've burned them) or the leaf piles. Click on the leaf pile that you want to clean up, and the 'Throw Away' option will now be available. It comes off again.) Go to the areas where you have leaf piles that haven't gone away. You will have an option that says 'Set as head'. Then while holding down the shift key, click on the trash can. Once you've done that, go into buy mode, and purchase an INDOOR trash can. You can close the window by hitting CTRL + SHIFT + C again. You could probably skip the burning all together with the temporary fix Hit CTRL + SHIFT + C and in the window, type testingcheats on.

Sometimes, it takes 4 or 5 tries before the leaves will actually turn to ash. Apparently there's a glitch where several leaf piles are 'overlapping' each other.
